The application relates to a method and device against vehicle theft. The device comprises an immobilizer (11) having a controller (13) operable to receive an ID from a transponder (19) embedded in a key (15). The received ID is compared to a stored ID. In order to counteract tampering, the time elapsed after disconnection and reconnection of the immobilizer (11) to a power source is counted.
